about us
We started this adventure…
because many people that get trucks or SUV’s in Virginia often want to take their rigs off road but don’t know where to start.
“Virginia Off-Road is dedicated to educating and empowering the off-road community by promoting responsible trail use, proper off-road etiquette, and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to welcome and support newcomers, protect and maintain our trails, and collaborate with reputable organizations that share our passion for preserving off-road adventures for future generations.“
